Part of the 52-600 series, it features a double-edge, right-hand cutting geometry with an 11-degree helix angle that pulls chips upward and away from the cut, reducing heat buildup and improving surface finish. The 3\/8-inch (0.375 inch) cutter diameter pairs with a 1-inch length of cut and a 2-inch shank length, giving machinists and CNC operators a balanced tool for controlled material removal in demanding routing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for use on CNC routers and handheld routing setups where clean, consistent cuts are required in plastic sheet goods and solid surface materials. Typical applications include sign fabrication, prototype machining, fixture work, and general plastic fabrication. It is used by CNC operators, tooling technicians, and trade fabricators working with ABS, acetal, acrylic, HDPE, nylon, PE, PET, polycarbonate, solid surfaces, and UHMW. The uncoated solid carbide construction is appropriate for these materials where coating adhesion or contamination is a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for durability and rigidity in hard plastic applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpcut flute geometry evacuates chips upward, keeping the cut path clear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-edge (two-flute) design balances feed rate capability with surface quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11-degree helix angle optimized for hard and soft plastic material groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish eliminates coating-related contamination risk on sensitive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for use with ABS, acetal, acrylic, HDPE, hard and soft plastics, nylon, PE, PET, polycarbonate, solid surfaces, and UHMW.

Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing the bit. Seat the shank fully into the collet to the recommended engagement depth and torque the collet nut according to the router or spindle manufacturer's specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Upcut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRouter Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double Edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hard Material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 52-600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ONSRUD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 52-638\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ONSRUD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67909730926898,"sku":"52-638","price":120.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/128356f074b7dc0aa346e97bf151e959.jpg?v=1791190497","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/onsrud-52-638-upcut-spiral-router-bit-3-8-in-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
